You’re free to believe that in your headcanon, but if the devs and writers themselves have said it, i’m inclined to believe it. It’s also a theme that’s very prevalent in past ff’s as well. It isn’t as simple as them just wanting to commit genocide for the sake of it anyhow but i know some people need to simplify things so they’re easier to understand. Irregardless though, even the protags have engaged in mass murder.Limsa with the kobolds, Uldah with the zombification of another city state, WoL and all the creatures he kills etc.
